Significance values for analysis of covariance tests of the patterns of decline in hot pixels with road distance inside and outside of reserves in Fig. 2 (WFA) and Fig. 3 (sensor comparison).

aTests are: the decline of hot pixels with distance from roads (Distance), the difference between the numbers of hot pixels inside and outside reserves (Difference Res/Out) and the interaction between these 2 factors (Interaction Dist/Diff). bHot pixels are grouped into high-impact forest (HI) and low-impact forest (LI) and are from the following data sets: World Fire Atlas (ATSR/AATSR sensors) 1996–2006 (WFA), the World Fire Atlas (ATSR/AATSR sensors) for 2001–2003 (ATSR), and the Vegetation Fire Dynamics data set, including NOAA12 AVHRR 2001–2003 (AVHRR) and MODIS Terra 2001–2003 (MODIS). Values of one-tailed tests are marked with an asterisk (*) at a significance level of p<.05.
